Tell me about your story in Aftermath - but don't give any spoilers!
I wanted to explore an almost apocalyptic world using our learning through Covid and implementing the trendy new ways. Then to twist the storyline into a possible idea of opening of a new novel!
What inspired you to write this?
Zooming endlessly through my online, social world. An oddly more accessible one
yet through a facade where people can hide, which can be good and bad. Body
language and expression is different.
Why did you think it important to
contribute to this collection?
Covid will evolve with us so it’s a very important turning point in human
history.
How have you coped with the pandemic?
I have been up and down but reached out for needed support due to disability and
health. Friends and neighbours have connected more, some who have never met each
other now communicate both online and in person which is a kinder way of living.
Can you tell us about your other
publications?
Featuring in the companion book COVID-19 Extraordinary Times fits perfectly with
this story and I’m delighted to be included in The Best of CafeLit 10 with my
grandfather’s Far East Prisoner of War story. My work includes a charity series
about Missy, my dog, and a children’s book. Recently I have been sharing my
poetry which has been a love of my life and feature on Devon Stream radio
regularly and on my YouTube channel. You can follow me on all social media
accounts to enjoy some of my writing and inspiration, just check out my website
for links. https://amandababerauthor.wordpress.com/
A continuing response by writers to the Covid19 pandemic in 2020 and
during the ongoing aftershocks in 2021, this collection is of work by
writers we have published before and whom we trust, and their trusted
colleagues. When disasters strike writers respond and react in words.
They share with us their hopes and fears. They describe and rationalise.
